What are the advantages of using Distance Vector Routing ?

Advantages of Distance Vector Routing are :



  1.  Large Routing Tables
  2. High network traffic overhead.
  3. Route advertising is done periodically even after the internetwork has converged.
  4. Multiple routes to a given network ID can be reflected as multiple entries in the routing tables.
  5. Doesn't scale.

Disadvantages of Distance Vector Routing are :

       1. It is slower to converge than the link state.
       2. It is at risk from the count-to-infinity problem.
      3. It creates more traffic than link-state since a hop count change must be propagated to all routers and processed on each router. Hop count updates take place on a periodic basis, even if there are no changes in the network topology, so bandwidth-wasting broadcasts still occur.
     4. For larger networks, distance vector routing results in larger routing tables than link-state since each router must know about all other routers. This can also lead to congestion on WAN links.
